Pricing and AvailabilityDell UltraSharp U3014 is coming soon worldwide starting from USD$1499. Dell UltraSharp U2713H & U2413 monitors are currently available worldwide starting at USD$999 and US$599, respectively. The Dell Single Monitor Arm is currently available starting from US$149, and the Dual Monitor Stand is currently available starting from US$169.

Received a new U2713Hb from Dell as a replacement for my new U2711 with some problems. IMO the anti glare coating are better on the U2713, but it is a lot worse in terms of viewing angle issues. With this monitor size you will see uneven density and color shifts (yellow/blue) even if you are positioned right in front of the U2713. I would not recomend it for critical Photoshop work even if it covers 99% of Adobe RGB.

I've just bought a 2713H and the wide gamut is very useful as you can see what you have compared to what you will get with srgb viewing and make informed choices about how to squeeze into sRGB. The resolution / pixel pitch is really great, and windoze is still usable (which is probably not true of a retina style display. Even on apple machines retina displays can be a problem as many apps are not geared up for such high resolutions yet (including Aperture as I understand it).

My only problem with the 2713H is incompatability of the USB ports with some ASUS motherboards (you need to use the USB connection to load the lut / calibrate with either x-rite standard or the dell variant software).

How strange, I've been using Aperture with a retina Mac for months now. Not only is it fully supported, the images look absolutely stunning thanks to the high density, allowing 4 times the detail to be seen over regular screens.

It's getting harder and harder to distinguish those being paid to badmouth Apple (see "I earn a fortune from home" type adverts) from those who just didn't bother learning about the things they like to talk about.

@Vlad, yes it arrived Wednesday last week - has been available in the UK for a few weeks now I believe

@Najinsky, I have no apple axe to grind one way or the other, I have a friend with all apple kit and he was saying that the user interface in aperture doesn't work well on hi res screens as it doesn't rescale properly (the piccies do look great once you get there though as you say).

This is a copy of Dell's press release. OK, what's DPR value-add? Perhaps they (the masters of holding the cams right side up) could tell us which laptops support these great resolutions? Yes, start with the DisplayPort and take it from there...

As a leading website for digital photography reviews and information I have no problem with dpreview posting the Dell press release, or any press release related to digital photography for that matter. The value-add is that the information has been made available for users to read if they choose. I would not have known about the release if it wasn't for dpreview.

Too bad, Gareth, you need to have it served to you, spin and all. Otherwise you might have learned there are other 27" IPS monitors with 1080+ resolution at half the Dell's price. Do I really have to tell you they are all made in Chiiina?

I have two good 4:3 screens and a hight of 1024 now. Thats more or less the same pixel area. So ... this is not an investment that feel necessary. I am waiting for half the pixel pitch. 2000x5000 or so would be nice :-)

I have a Philips television with this screen format, and I have to say that it's wonderful.So for wide screen video work it might come in handy to see the end result. As a photographer myself I don't see the real use for it. The 99% Adobe RGB might come in handy for the extreme color critic.

It is written that Dell UltraSharp U3014 is for color critical work, however only U2713H is mentioned to have 99% ARGB coverage. Are the two monitors different in color reproduction/panel/calibration/etc? Am I missing something here?

Does it really help for the overwhelming most of us who view our pictures on just average laptops and sharing them on the web or printing them on inkjets that cannot come close to showing all the color? Would certainly be nice if it could be appreciated and I guess in commercial work it might. Am I right?

You are right. Viewing jpegs or images from the internet requires only an sRGB monitor as both are, or should be, just sRGB. Unless you are working with images you expect to print with an AdobeRGB capable printer or a printhouse that accepts them, these monitors are in fact a bit of a nuisance. These may have an sRGB mode as have some other recent Dell monitors, and if they do, you will definitely want to use that mode for viewing jpegs or browsing. Or just buy a good sRGB monitor if you don't do AdobeRGB photo editing and printing.

Does the 14-bit LUT mean these monitors are hardware calibratable?This article suggests that you calibrate your monitor rather than the video card but recommends NEC monitors that are usually a lot more expensive than a Dell:

I wasn't aware that the folks at TFT central have already reviewed the new monitors. I've just checked out their website and indeed found this:

"One thing which separates this screen from many mainstream monitors... is the support for hardware calibration. Users can program the monitors 14-bit Look Up Table (LUT) if they have the appropriate software... The software part of is easy, Dell provide their own free... software... allow[ing] the user to access the hardware LUT to calibrate the screen in two available modes.. The second part is not so easy... as you require a compatible calibration tool to work with this software and allow hardware calibration. Oddly Dell... have locked this so that you can ONLY use the X-rite i1 Display Pro colorimeter. Other devices are NOT compatible at all, including the i1 Pro spectrophotometer, i1 Display 2, ColorMunki, Spyder series or any other colorimeter."

Unless the software has been designed for high dpi count, it won't help you. Think how small the regular icons of 22*22 pixels will be! I would currently not use a monitor with more than 120dpi - 96 is still ideal.

I agree. 300dpi is all nice and well if you can easily magnify into the page, as on a smartphone or tablet with multitouch and gesture support - but with a regular PC operating system and non-touchscreen interface, a 300dpi screen would be a nightmare.

Agree, overcoming the 72dpi barrier is the thing to go to, moving 35MP onto 30" and making prints (almost) obsolete. Sure there are technical obstacles to overcome (bandwidth, scaling, fonts...) but the 72dpi is where we will wonder how people settled for such low resolutions in the past. Hopefully soon...

Wow...people still think this way? Even after Apple long ago released HiDPI monitors with normal-sized icons?

Think about it like this: When you read a paper catalog, it was printed at 300dpi, but no one ever complains that the pictures or text are too small. There is nothing about high-resolution monitors that will cause objects to be too small...unless you are using an operating system that is not capable of compensating. High resolution object size is a solved problem, it was solved in print, and print came before the web screwed up everyone's idea of how resolution works.

I can clearly say that none of the repliers here saw retina display in action (the one that 15" macbook have) first of all you can change the size of the icons from the OS with ease. Second of all, at retina resolution, pixels are so small that you can actually scale the resolution down perfectly to 1440x900, 1680x1050 and to the original retina resolution. This downscale does not cause blurring like regular lcd's do at all.

By the way, to all the people who are planning on buying a new monitor.. Instead of buying one 30" monitor, I recommend getting two monitors in dual-head configuration -one 24" IPS and a second smaller cheap TFT monitor. Keep all of your tools on the TFT monitor (except the color palette) and do all of your processing and color work on the IPS monitor. It's less expensive this way and it's also better on the eyes since you can always turn off the second monitor if you don't need the extra screen real estate, plus you can conveniently adjust the position/angle of the second monitor. I'm using this setup since 2000 for 3D, digital imaging and illustration work, it's working really well for me..

In theory a good advice. I tried it myself but ...When using a drawing tablet (Wacom) a big amount of "drawing estate" of the tablet is used for the 2nd monitor. Leaving less for the primary monitor = reducing resolution & precision.Even though I run a dual monitor config I restricted the tablet drawing estate to the primary monitor.

Something i just found out recently with my wacom (i use a three monitor setup) is you can map the tablet to cover a portion of your second (and third monitor) so i place the photoshop tools in this region so i can still each them with the pen.

I have a wacom tablet too, 6x11, an indispensable tool.. :) It's setup with a 1080p as the primary and the second one is 1280/1024. For the tablet size I have, this works very well for me (horizontally 1280+1920) -this is equivalent to a 3200x1024/1080 single monitor, now that's a lot of screen real estate. Personally I do small strokes, so I don't have to move my arm around on the tablet a lot, if I need to add some specific detail -I zoom on the image anyway. However, if I had two 1080p side by side horizontally (1920+1920), maybe my tablet would be too small, unless I would spin the second monitor 90 degrees vertically (horizontally 1080+1920) or lower the resolution on the second monitor..

So I guess gl2k, you can try spinning the other monitor, lower the resolution of the second monitor, or just get a bigger wacom tablet.. :)

I have an even better idea for those with lots of money & desk space. Get the 30" monitor which has a vertical resolution of 1600 pixels if my memory serves me correctly. Also get a 20"-22" 1600x1200 monitor and then set it next to the 30" one, but in portrait orientation. This way their vertical pixels match.

Then have the whole 30" monitor for the image and the smaller monitor will have plenty of height required by all those layers, or history, or actions etc.

I've used exactly this setup for many years. Having the smaller sRGB TFT monitor allows me to see proper color of sRGB jpegs and sRGB web content and also check sRGB files I produce from RAW AdobeRGB files. My 24" AdobeRGB monitor (older 96% of AdobeRGB monitor) does not have an sRGB mode and switching to that mode on the newer monitor several times each day would seem to be a nuisance

Nice idea. Just wondering how you would arrange things if upgrading to one of these when you already own a 30 inch 1920*1200 display? Get a bigger desk? I am also in mind of how big a deal it apparently was for Adobe to accommodate Retina displays.

I have a cheap Dell laptop. And am amazed at the processing in Raw i get. I am going to buy the 27" just because of the excellent laptop. I am seriously getting into high quality bird photography. Do you guys think this is a good move? Can I expect much better processing with PS-5?Gary

The max resolution of single-link DVI is 2.75 megapixels according to Wikipedia. For resolutions above that, you can use dual-link DVI, which has been required for many years for 27- to 30-inch monitors. Apparently the max resolution of dual-link depends on the source, cable, and sync.

The max resolution of HDMI depends on the version of HDMI your equipment uses. If I'm reading Wikipedia right, HDMI 1.4 can reach 4096x2160 if limited to 24 frames per second.

Since DisplayPort is more flexible than HDMI, including being an open standard unlike HDMI, DisplayPort is what higher-end laptops and Microsoft Surface use.

Hopefully the U2413 will calibrate better than the U2410. I have both a U2410 and the older 2407. I use the Eye-One display 2 to calibrate both and the 2407 gives more faithfull color than the U2410 - prints from the labs I use with the labs' icc profiles for soft proofing look just like the image on the 2407 and not the 2410 and both displays are calibrated to the same color temperature. The U2410 has more color controls than the 2407, but changing an RGB value by 1 % in the color controls on the U2410 can change the color temperature by 200 degrees. I missed the return date (dell only gives 21 days now instead of the 30 they use to give) and Dell never responded to my concerns.

My advice has always been "stay away from wide Gamut unless you know what your doing". For me it's not worth the hassle to see colors no one else can. You don't see it in print, your clients don't see it, on the web they can't be seen. So what good is it? It's great for a dedicated graphics station but for general use it causes many folks a lot of head aches. So if WG is your cup of tea go for it. If your not sure do your research first, there are lot of threads on this subject going back for years and nothing has really changed.

I couldn't agree more. I just sold my U2410 and bought a U2713HM (not wide gamut). The bottoms line I that we live in an sRGB world, and working with wide gamut can get confusing at the best of times. There isn't a single OS that manages it well enough, and the sRGB emulation mode will only add to the confusion, since the OS still thinks its wide gamut.

I also Agree with you comment. I am using a Dell Precision M4600 with WG LED display. To be honest. Yes. the color on the monitor is excellent. But when your program don't support color management, you will have a hard time deciding which is the correct color to represent when your client see your images. We alll live in a sRGB world. So, Is better off to get a very good sRGB IPS monitor.

it is irrelevant if it's WG or not - my U2711 worked totally fine switched into sRGB mode. basicaly these DELL babies are the only sane option for an average photography joe on the market, and no amount of WG pro/contra discussion is going to change that. Buy NEC? no thank you, I can buy 2 Dells. Downshift into shady $500 internet Korean stuff? No thank you.

this time around it's even better, those who need any advice on gamut would just buy the cheaper consumer U2713HM option and automatically stay out of trouble.

Another option - buy the wide gamut display, enjoy it, do your color management thing on it, edit on it, etc., and then have a second monitor that saturates just sRGB and use it for multitasking/menus and color proofing sanity checks of your output. You can enjoy benefits of the expanded colorspace that wide gamut delivers from your main, and the convenience of sRGB only from the second monitor.

I have been following these discussions for years and no one has ever given me a good reason to go WG. I do shoot raw and process in LR, so the benefits of WG color space are still there and some day in the future when almost everything is properly color managed I will go to a WG monitor.

As far as ink jet printing (the better photo printers) goes there is a very small visible difference when the content is favorable to WG and you don't need a WG monitor to get those benefits although it would help to see what your getting before you print. If I remember right LR has a feature to see what is out of gamut before printing even if you don't have a WG monitor. Like a lot of folks I don't do much printing anymore and when I do I get them done at Costco. On rare occasions I will order larger HQ prints from West Coast Imaging or Black River imaging. Ink Jet printing just is not cost effective for me anymore. The main point is I never see the benefits of WG that I know of.

I've had the 2713H for a few weeks now. Anti-glare is much, much better than the 2711 that I had before this. The best thing about this monitor, however, is that it comes with a factory uniformity calibration, making it very, very even across the entire screen. Highly recommended.

Yes, the 2711 was really grainy. On white/light it almost shimmered. It was really distracting. The 2713H is more like the matt screen on an older macbook pro. Even, effective, and not distracting at all.

Also, there is a big diff between the 2713H and the 2713HM. Buyer beware!

> Preset mode is Custom ColourExactly! Monitor LUTs calibration is available only in "Color Space" preset so you were using video card LUTs calibration and not monitor LUTs calibration. That's why you could use uniformity compensation.

> mine is the best I've usedNobody would argue that there are worse monitors than these Dells :).

Note that like any wide gamut monitor this will be BAD for general web browsing and stuff. Images without a color profile (or any images at all in browsers which don't support color profiling) will appear heavily over saturated.

I've been monitor shopping for 6 months to a year and haven't found the monitor I need yet... however this looks promising. Apple has their Thunderbolt technology which is not compatible with my mid 2010 17" MacBook Pro... is this model line of monitors Apple friendly?

I spotted these monitors in their ads last week and will likely buy the 24 inch monitor, which at $599 is a good choice considering the apple monitors stand alone unit are $999. Maybe apples monitors are a bit better spec wise, but this is a good price for almost similar colour performance I think. Great controls, and lumens can be set from 350 high end to 50 minimum. This monitor has multiple inputs, HDMI and DVI and miniport for multiple uses for video or photo editing.

If you're shopping for monitors, I recommend you checkout Viewsonic, they make excellent professional IPS monitors at very good prices. I have been using one for the past 3 years (bought my 23" for $330 back then, now they cost about $270), and I find the color accuracy, viewing angle and brightness is excellent (plus they have 0 dead pixels guarantee). I highly recommend them..

As for apple monitors, they are used by designer/artist noobs and fashion victims. The surface of their screen is reflective, you can see the reflection of yourself and the background while working on them. Totally unacceptable..

I have a 27 inch imac and yes some minor reflection on it, but it does not distract me at all in edting, as I have it in room with dim lighting. Many professional use this 27" imac. I checked the Viewsonic site as mentioned, and cannot find any info on calibration for monitor. I had a Viewsonic LCD before and had difficulties getting the Lumen setting low enough (too bright) to match my printing house recommendations. The 24" Dell offers the right calibration. So, if you are printing inhouse only from your own printers, Viewsonic is very much fine to use. Sending out of house print jobs, Dell (with a Windows CPU) is a better choice to meet industry standard 100 or 120 lumen settings with proper calibrated software. This is why a Pro would buy a more expensive monitor, so see what a print house sees. The 24 inch Dell looks ideal in this regard.

So buying a 2410 looks to be a good deal for those on a budget? I'd be curious to know what other older monitors are good for photography. My "problem" is that 12 years ago I bought a really high quality graphics CRT and it's still a great monitor. So it's a bit large for the screen real estate by today's standards, but it's just really accurate and nice to look at so I haven't upgraded. When I do, I'll probably be looking at something like the 2410 at less than $400.

Sir, first thing you should do tomorrow morning is to take your CRT and toss it in the dumpster (better yet, dispose of it properly) and then go to a store and buy an IPS monitor. You will not regret it! The image on the new monitor will have better tonal range, it will be more crisp, vibrant, and without any distortions. I know this will be hard to do, because I done it myself, I had a perfectly working professional flat CRT monitor that I threw out.. I was really sad when I was throwing it out, I even put a big note on top of it "working", hoping someone would pick it up and use it.. lol but I have no regrets now, because the IPS image quality is superb, I could never go back to CRT. If you want a very good IPS monitor at a good price, get Viewsonic, they're excellent. I have one, and I'm very very pleased with it.

Of particular interest is the comparison with the U2410 and U2412M monitors, and an explanation of the features that each provide. You don't always need the latest and best - the wide gamut available on the U2413 may actually be a disadvantage for many users.

It's taken Dell five years to get back to almost the quality they built into their 2408WFP monitor in 2008? That old 24" monitor had a Delta E of 1.7 before calibration (1.3 with) and the color gamut was over 100% of the Adobe RGB standard (http://www.anandtech.com/show/2518/5). These new Dells sound pretty good with a price that won't break the bank ..

@BigBen08, LG is a manufacturer of LCD pannels.ISP is the best or similar best to the competing type of display which I can' t remember of the top of my head. Check out Wikipedia if your interested. The LG pannel is used in the same Apple monitor, the HP ZR30z, the Dell 3011 and one other. Interestingly the cost of these varies by $500, for the same IPS panel, just different inputs.

You can pick up a nice 24" IPS panel for around $300. I like dell brand monitors. Apple, HP, Dell tend to use LG panels but they do use different layers of films on them. Some will be full gloss, my U3011 are matte. If you get a 27 or 30", keep in mind you can not use the full resolution with HDMI (HDMI is limited to 1920x1080 or a tad more). You need dual link DVI or displayport. So you might have to upgrade your graphics card.

No offense Mssimo but I think you are confusing the hell out of people that doesn't follow display technology.

My Dell Ultrasharp is S-PVA and there are also PLS and MVA monitors out there not to mention the various type of IPS from cheap E-IPS to high end H-IPS.

I think it is better to say this is a great monitor with great color and viewing angle and buy it if you have the money and demand the best. To get technical is like telling people to buy BSI 1/1.7 or bigger sensor when shopping for compact camera. You'd be driving them nuts.

I've been working on a Dell U2711 (16:9, 2560x1440) for more than a year now - I think vertical resolution is a more important factor that aspect ratio. I say this because I also have a 24" 1920x1200 monitor, which I used for my photo editing prior to the U2711 - but the extra 240 vertical pixels (not to mention the extra 640 horizontal pixels) of the U2711 make it much nicer to work on. Toolbars go on the side of the screen anyways, so I don't really mind having the extra horizontal space.

Nobody really ever mentions this.. but the aspect ratio of the monitor would be best defined as ideal by what software you use, and how you've customized your screen views. Ie. where do you put your menus and toolbars, etc. and how do these effect the resulting available space for the photo to be viewed and edited?
